by Hans-Ulrich Hecker, Angelika Steveling and Elmar Peuker

In the last fifty years, microsystem acupuncture has emerged as a safe
and effective therapeutic option for a wide range of conditions, from
cardiovascular and neurological disorders to obesity and nicotine
dependence. Its worldwide acceptance is largely due to the ability of
microsystem acupuncture to provide access for treatment, even in the
event of extreme local sensitivity to pain.

This book is a
comprehensive overview of ear, scalp, mouth, and hand acupuncture to
help you understand the relationships between these microsystems and the
body. Integrating new and established methods, the book covers such
topics as Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture, Korean hand acupuncture, and
laser acupuncture with concise text and more than 350 photographs to
allow for instant localization of all zones and points. The range of
techniques addressed makes this one-of-a-kind work ideal for busy
students and practitioners looking for an overview of some of the most
rapidly growing and innovative advances in acupuncture and complementary medicine.
